Wait to see weight difference from OEM GTS wheels.


7.5 kgr total weight saving from 991.2 GTS OEM wheels to BBS FIRs.

15 kgr total weight saving from steel to PCCB rotors.

22.5 kgr rotation mass reduction.
1000 USD per kgr in principle.

Got a visit from @12v Nick today for an awesome stereo upgrade! I had the no frills base stereo so went with the full Musicar upgrade! Here are a couple pics. I will be doing a more in depth review in a separate thread. TLDR is it's a great upgrade! Huge difference!!!

How easy is the full stage 3 install? Did Nick help you out?

Nick actually did the install himself. He flew down for the day. Awesome experience all the way around. After watching him do the install I would say it's very straightforward. The kit is put together very well with everything you need. I would say it's a bit of an advanced DIY but if you can follow directions it is very doable!!

I have not heard the Burmester so I cant compare to that but I can say it's MILES away from Bose. So much better!! I'm not an audiophile but to me this was a very worthwhile upgrade.

Thats awesome. I’ve been considering the tweeters but now I’m thinking your route may be the right choice for me. If you don’t mind how much was the kit? Also how would I make the purchase?

The cost for the full kit, if you have the base no frills stereo, is $5995. Installation is in addition to that and would depend on travel expenses so you would need to get a quote from Nick for that. So it's a little more than if you optioned the Burmeister from the factory but, according to others, you get a better sound experience. For me it was totally worth it and went the way I planned. I have always thought Bose was fine but not great and figured I could get as good as or better than Burm for about the same price if I couldn't stand the base stereo. In my opinion, I was right. (LOL, like I would disagree with myself....) The base stereo was just awful, thank goodness the engine sings so sweet! The stereo is now clearer and louder than before, just so much better.

Also, for me it was really cool to have Nick come out and do a personal install at my house. So convenient and lots of peace of mind knowing the job was done right.

You can reach out to Nick here on the forum or you can check out their website at https://musicarnw.com/.

I had a bad habit of putting my sunglasses in my top pocket and when I leaned over they would fall out, or if I put them in my back pocket I would sit on them. I found a place that makes a holder (https://eyeglasseskeeper.com/) that clips on a shirt pocket or on a front pants pocket that hold them so they cannot fall anymore, or get butt-crushed. I ordered it without the logo so I could customize it: I used Miami Blue wrap for the background and put a decal that Sandy made (https://rennlist.com/forums/991/1142...om-decals.html) and a Porsche Crest, which is an actual part (# 944-538-443-00). While not for the car it stays in the car and I have found it very useful:
